Gazette.We are surprised that the Gazetteeditor, though his salary does not "callfor a Horace Greeley," should resort tothis bare-faced falsehood in the columnsof the same paper which has been running the Mills bill as a standing advertisement of the journal's adherence to1 Cobdenism-' and free-trade. "TheMills bill does not touch the tariff onpptatoes,' says this astute individual.Referring to the Gazette of Fridaymorning, Sept. 14th, we find intheparJtial abstract of the Mills bill under thehead of "Free-list," "Vegetables intheir natural state," and if this doesnot cover it, a little further on is"Bulbs and bulbous roots, non-medicinal."According to the Gazette's ownstatement in the quotation above, and-which is in this particular correct, thepresent duty on potatoes is fifteencents per bushel of sixty pounds.''Unfortunately," Mr. "Warren's asserj. tion that "the Mills bill does not touchthe tariff on potatoes" is not true, and' with Lis own paper before liis.eyes giv.jij9 him the" lie, we can see no excuse- for making the- statement..As to the twaddle about '-potatoescoating onr farmers" money-any child' can, Cnprfebend its folly.

But the farmers began vo ask who was striving to injure,by removing its protection,an industryas important to many Northern Statesas rice culture is to the South. "Why,"they inquiied,"do you put nearly 100 percent, tariff on the Southern rice andput the Northern potato on the freelist?" Suddenly the Democratic pressbecame painfully silent on the subjectand the injustice that they were doingthe Northern farmers was ignortd. Itis a matter of record that the Republican minority in the House endeavoredto place the word 'non-edible" after'bulbs and bulbous roots" in order tokeep the fifteen per cent, protection onpotatoes, but the Democratic side votedthe amendment down it preferredhelping its friends, the South. "Unfortunately" for Mr. Mills and hisparty, the farmers are aware of thisand will resent the insult offered.Such are the facts in regard to thepresent, and, under the Mills bill, theprospective standing of the tariff onpotatoes. Mr. Warren may, perhaps,after a while comprehend what hisreaders already understand, that theReflector knows what it is talkingabout and, unlike its e. c, presentsnothing but facts to the reading public.From 47 to 42 Per Cent.The author of the Mills bill spoke atRichmond, Ind., on Tuesday last,ilr. Mills shows himself to be not onlya demagogue of very low degree, but aman who is willing to utter falsehoods,if he can succeed in deceiving the public. Mr. Mills said in his speech thatthe Mills bill only reduces the tariffirom K ioi2 per cent, or an averageof 5 per cent. And yet, says ilr Mills,the Republicans are "going about thecountry saying this is free trade, andthat it will ruin the whole country."Mr. Mills' own figures will show thatthis pretense of a mere "5 per cent.".reduction is ridiculously false. Hiscomputation is based on the customsreceipts for the fiscal year 1887. Theseamounted in round figures to $212,000,000. The Mills bill cuts off $50,000,000of the duties $30,000,000 by reducingduties, and $20,000,000 by placing dutiable goods on the free list. This$50000,000 reduction is 28 per cent of,the entire revenue received from dutiable imports. The Mills bill does notmake a cut of & per cent only, but ooMitar94iee fcto7c and 8c. Pepperell, fine, brownHead," heaviest unbleached muslinonly 8c per yard.Thelarge part of this reduction is made bycreating absolute free trade in aboutfifty important American industries.In fact, Mr. Mills' own figures provethat the Mills Wilis a dangerous andinfamous assault upon the industrialsystem of the country. It demonstrates also that the claim of a mere 5per cent, reduction is a fraud, and thatMr. Mills himself is a gorgeouscal trickster and sham.politi"What good to Kansas farmers isthe duty of $2 per ton on hay?" Is aquestion often asked as if it were aposer which would overturn the wholeprotective system. The Cleveland(Ohio,) Leader, seems to have a practical answer to the question in the following statement:Thousands of tons of Kansas andIllinois hay are sold every year in thiscity. One commission firm alone oftenhandles from ten to twenty carloads ina single day, in the season for suchshipments. It is just $1 a ton cheaperto bring hay here from Kansas than itis to bring it from Canada, only seventymiles distant, and pay the duty. Ifthere were no duty on hay, not a ton ofKansas hay would ever- have been soldin Cleveland. The $2 a ton keeps outthe Canada hay and gives the Kansasfarmer a chance to market a part of hissurplus product here.we unaersiana mac some or ourDemocratic brethren object quite vigorously to the Reflector's remarkthat, "John "Martin, Dr, Tobey andtheir whisky bottles" would addressthe Abilene Bourbons Oct. 18th. Ifswinging a whisky bottle in front of aiiaudience isn't about as near making it"address" an audience as can be imagined, we would like to know what itis. The bottles will accompany thegentlemen, never fear.English free-trade wages are lessthan half those of protected UnitedStates. Should the Democratic free-trade party be successful, it meansthat laborers shall accept free-tradewages, while on the other hand shouldRepublican protection party be successful they will be protected fromforeign interference and thereby receiveprotection wages.There was a time when Judge JohnMartin would not accept a gubernatorial nomination because it was hampered with re-submission. Now, soeager is he for office, that he alone ofall his party is howling for whisky andcatering to the ideas of the lowest classof voters.

Four of the nine members of theUnion Labor State committee are bankers or own bank stock.

This statementdoes not seem very wonderful on theface of it, but when we come to consider the club's purposes it is calculatedto send a thrill of terror to the heart ofevery man in Abilene. Jeness Milleris a reformer from Reformersville, andthe Abilene society, if it is formed, proposes to carry out her plans. Amongother things contemplated is the banishment of the bustle. As if that werenot terrible enough, it is proposed toalso discard corsets. A bustle-less,corsetless body of young ladies wouldbe a sight indeed, but that is not all.The plainest of hats are to be worn,broad heeled heavy shoes and, horrorof horrorsl bifurcated skirts.
